That SC is [eyes roll back in his head; pauses for dramatic effect] aaaaaawesome.

Thanks dude, it was one of the first blazers I found when I moved down here. No alterations or nuthin', fit perfect right of the rack.

Quick fit pick with my new BB hat.

Yeah, dude. Totally killing it.

Eazy lookin straight out of Compton...I mean Chi Town

Awesome look Eazy!

Quick OT question for all: Anyone know how J Press pants fit? They've got a sale on and I've got my eyes on some red linen to get ready for the eventual return of Spring. Some stuff I read said they're slim through the thighs, which would be bad for me... Also, how high is the regular rise?

If anyone is interested I can proxy some Allen Edmonds Norwich in brown size 10 E for $210 shipped. They were in store, so maybe have been tried on once, but a good looking single monk.

Edit: I also picked up this tie for $30

I've discovered Savers' new ad campaign...

This is a roughly $125 TNF jacket.

I saw a very used burberry SC up in MN going for around $30. This thing was at least 40 years old and dirty. This was at a good will in a bad area too, not sure what these people are thinking.

I think I may have hit a small selvedge jackpot on my a) my first experience with the Buffalo Exchange that just moved in around the corner and b) my first foray into selvedge.

EDIT: Well, maybe not, but these are still nice jeans: http://abfits.com/shop/?wpsc-product=dopedrakkar-x-ab-fits-lot-1198









And though I can get them on, and they fit well, I can't even approach the realm of possibly buttoning up the button fly.

Wow! That's an awesome piece to be found in a thrift store! Good eye, man!

Well technically I guess so....but she lets me have half of it. Unfortunately, my half is the ******* gas tank.

Isn't that how things work around here?

Quick fit pick with my new BB hat.

Eazy, man, when are you getting cast in the 4th season of Boardwalk Empire?

In store, quick response appreciated. Should I pull the trigger an kop several no name hong kong tailored suits too big for me (so like 54 US or so) with Loro piana fabric? In leaning no, but super frustrated this dead guy wasn't smaller

 

[horse's_ass]

I would pass

Nice finds.

Reminds me: Marshall's the other day had a pair of Billy Reid spectator wingtips, made in Italy. I think it was a few jacksons. Kop-Worthy? Not sure they were my size; they were close. So if they didn't fit, I would presumably want to be able to trade or proxy.

STAX: No. WW Chan are pretty decent, and you may get some trade bait. But not for certain; not worth it.

Yea, figured. Working cuff buttons drew me in, big badass jackets with that fabric got me super excited, but no joy. Would've doubled my suit wardrobe if this Ben R. was 2 sizes smaller.
